Shop and Donate

When you donate your pre-loved items to our shops, you are supporting local children and their families in a very real way.

Bringing a bag to one of our shops is worth £15 on average, which could pay for a child’s play session. Just think of how many smiles your donation could create.

How can I donate?

There’s lots of ways to donate and you can choose whichever one is best for you. Your donations can be dropped off at any one of our nine shops or in the Donation Station at Bluebell Wood in North Anston. If you have eight bags or more to donate, then our van drivers can come and collect from your house.

Donating furniture

If you would like to donate furniture, please ring our Hellaby shop directly on 01709 530055.

We can accept

Furniture – which must have fire labels attached if it's upholstered

Large and small electrical appliances that are less than five years old

There are some things we can’t accept for safety or legal reasons. If you’re not sure if we can accept your donations, please call our Hellaby shop where our staff can advise you. We can't accept:

Furniture and Houseware - upholstered furniture without a fire label including all items donated as sets, pillows and duvets unless brand new and carpets.

Bag it for Bluebell days are also a great way to have a clear out. You can hold one of these between your friends and family or at your work. We’ll give you collection bags to host your day, at a time that suits you best.

Your pledge is then to ask friends, family, colleagues – whoever may want to raise cash through donating items – to return bags during your Bag It for Bluebell day. Once you’ve gathered them all together, our van drivers will then be able to come and collect them from you.

We hold our own Bag it for Bluebell days too, where you can drop off items. They are held monthly at Brinsworth Top Car Park and Lakeside Village in Doncaster.

Can I use Gift Aid?

Yes, you can! In fact, it’s a simple way to make your donation go further. If you sign up to Gift Aid, then for every pound raised from your donation we can receive an extra 25p from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC). When you drop off your items or when they’re collected you’ll be asked if you would like to sign up to Gift Aid. But if you would rather not wait, you can sign up here and bring your form with you when you donate your first bag.

Other ways to shop and support

We all love to find a great deal and now you can support local children while you’re browsing on the bus or searching for a sale on the sofa. We’ve partnered up with lots of places where you can get involved in a free and easy way when you shop online.

Amazon Smile works just like the normal Amazon website, but when you buy eligible items using Amazon Smile, then you can create real ones at Bluebell Wood. That’s because 0.5% of whatever you spend comes to support local children at the hospice. Now, isn’t that a reason to smile?

Easyfundraising is a great way for you to raise money for us just by shopping online with thousands of stores. And the best part is you don’t pay anything extra.

Visit the easyfundraising website and download the donation reminder. Then whenever you shop online with a participating store the reminder will let you know that a donation will be made to us if you shop via easyfundraising. We’ll receive on average five per cent of your purchase directly from the store.

eBay for Charity is a simple way to support Bluebell Wood while buying and selling items on eBay. If you’re selling you can choose to donate a percentage of your sales, and if you’re buying why not bid for Bluebell Wood items?

Savoo is a free online fundraising platform that uses web searches to donate to UK charities. You can now show your support for Bluebell Wood by using Savoo Search, Save and Raise as your online shopping platform. It costs you absolutely nothing to do, but you’ll still be helping to raise money and make a difference to our children and their families.

The Giving Machine is an award winning charity based on a simple but powerful idea – making giving free and easy for you.

If you buy something at an online shop we’ve directed you to then your purchase automatically generates a sales commission. As a charity and not-for-profit organisation, they turn the commission you’ve generated into a charitable donation and pass it on to us to so we can support our families.

Olivia is a bubbly, chatty teenager who loves singing, and all things Harry Potter. She lives in Sheffield with her mum and dad, Michelle and Russell, and her brothers, Harry and Finley, and loves spending time at Bluebell Wood.

You are the reason that children and families can create magical memories and make the most of their time together.
Your donations provide much needed funds to support our families, and to create memories that they will treasure forever.
